Today we had an errand to run. We visited the UPS store in Santa Paula, California to fill out our absentee ballots in the presence of a notary public and put them in the mail. Then we treated ourselves to a drive through the Santa Clara Valley to Francisco’s Fruits to load up on their incredibly delicious Dried Strawberries. We bought every single bag they had in the store today! We had fallen in love with them on a visit here two years ago. We also came away with fresh strawberries, pecans, licorice, and a Mexican candy. Lots of goodies for future snacks but we were hankering for one more immediate treat so we stopped by Anne’s Doughnuts where we shared the best eclair and apple fritter we’ve ever tasted accompanied by good coffee and friendly service! After that we headed back to the T@B for a quiet evening and a colorful sunset.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
And the pea hens are still waiting for the opportunity to tour the T@B.
